Before entering the examination room, the first step is to check the candidate's identity document and examination certificate.
Next comes the identification, and then the search.
Candidates can only have one pair of shorts left, and all other clothes must be taken off and inspected one by one.
The yamen officer could only put it on again after making sure there were no scraps of paper or writing on the clothes.
After passing the inspection, Yu Tiance entered the Gongyuan and queued up to wait for the examiner to enter.
Not long after, the county magistrate arrived.
He briefly explained the exam rules, urged candidates not to cheat, and also talked about the punishment mechanism.
The county examination has a joint guarantee system, which stipulates that if one person cheats in a group of five, the rest will be kicked out of the examination room.
The people who teamed up with Yu Tiance were all acquaintances of Mr. Sun of Yanyun Painting Gallery. They knew each other well and were unlikely to plagiarize.
Next, there is "guaranteeing".
As the old saying goes, if you have nothing, you have nothing to fear.
The students present are all "white" and have no merit or honor. They were kicked out this time and will come back to take the exam next time. Therefore, the discipline of the county exam is slightly messier than that of the government exam and the college exam.
In this regard, there is a guarantee system.
That is to ask a local student from the county to be the guarantor, who will confirm the identity of the candidate again to prevent anyone from taking the exam for him.
Linsheng must be a scholar to hold the position.
The eighth brother-in-law is a scholar, and the seventh brother-in-law is still a scholar, but they will definitely not guarantee Yu Tiance.
Yu Tiance didn't speak, but asked shopkeeper Sun of Yanyun Painting Gallery to help find a Linsheng named Qiao Yun.
Nowadays, the guaranteed price in the market is always money. With Shopkeeper Sun’s face, he only paid five hundred dollars.
"Xinfeng County scholar Qiao Yunbao, Yu Tiance, Hu Yang, Wang Xuan...five people!" The yamen servant shouted loudly while holding the roster.
Qiao Yun took a step forward and replied loudly: "I protect Yu Tiance, Populus euphratica..."
Yu Tiance and the other five stepped forward again to verify their identity.
Previously, the government officials checked the identity documents against them.
If the identity of the person is verified for the second time and the person who took the exam is discovered, not only will he be thrown out, but he will also be punished as a guarantor.
The examination booths in Gongyuan are arranged in rows, and each position is a small grid. After entering, the wooden table is put down, you have to raise your hands to use the toilet, and you can't see anyone inside.
Yu Tiance took two deep breaths, calmed down his mood, prepared his pen and ink, and welcomed his first exam in ancient times.
In the county examination, the first session is the main examination.
The questions are relatively simple compared to the later exams. The questions are from the Four Books and Five Classics. Most of the questions are mainly about filling in the blanks, or just complete the incomplete sentences. This subject is called - Jing Tie.
The original owner was an honest man and had a very solid memory. He could almost recall what the gaps were when he saw a sentence.
Yu Tiance was even more puzzled.
How come a person who is so good at studying cannot fail the Tongsheng test?
It was quiet all around, and you could only hear the footsteps of the government officials making inspections, and the slowly passing autumn wind.
Unknowingly, an hour passed.
Yu Tiance answered all the blank questions.
I brought some steamed buns and shredded salted radish in the morning. Water was provided in the examination room, and I had a simple lunch.
But...
The steamed buns were smashed to pieces by the yamen servants, and the pickles were all crushed into pieces.
The key point is that the government officials haven’t washed their hands yet, so they can’t think about it.
In the afternoon, there were also a lot of scripture posts and no articles, but the questions were much more difficult than in the morning.
The question that impressed me the most was preceded by the word "子曰", two words in the middle, and four words at the end, including the word "hu".
If you are not familiar with "The Analects of Confucius" or have not memorized this sentence specifically, it will be really difficult to cover up.
After several twists and turns, Yu Tiance reached the last volume.
The last question is a poem.
The title is just a few words, "Autumn comes, and the geese fly south."
There is no limit to the subject matter.
Reading the question means solving it.
In autumn, the flowers wither.
As the geese fly south, the earth becomes desolate.
Yu Tiance thought that the word "migrate to the south" could not only be used on birds, but if used on common people, it could also reflect the loneliness of the dynasty.
In this case, how about praising the Yu Dynasty by writing about the rampant corruption of corrupt officials in the Yuan Dynasty and the dire livelihood of the people?
I wrote and revised the draft, revised and wrote again.
An hour later, I finally made a poem based on the current situation in the last years of the Jin Dynasty.
"The Return of the Wild Geese"
In prosperous times, parties fight in chaos, but in troubled times, capable ministers are created;
Taxes have been increasing year after year, and famine has killed the people.
Mongolia was unified, and beauties entered the heart of the emperor;
Xuanzong was obsessed with wine and sex, and the whole court was filled with traitors and sycophants.
The Mobei wolf went south, breaking the city gate with its iron hooves;
Souls are flying all over the sky, and there are forests of bones everywhere.
There is a scale for massacre, and there is no distinction between high and low;
Under the wheel is a slave, on the wheel is a soul.
The flowers are falling one by one, and the Central Plains is sinking;
The wild geese have all flown away, and there are people of both genders, old and young.
A good man from China tolerates hatred in his heart;
Taizu Yu descended from heaven, leaving Mobei covered with bloodstains!
This poem not only describes the desolation in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, but also describes the state of poverty of the people under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.
The most important thing is to flatter the founding emperor Li Longwu three hundred years ago!
Don’t be too perfect!
After the last word fell, Yu Tiance drew the poem one by one and copied it on the paper.
The exam is over, I feel quite proud when I think about it.
It was already dusk, and some people began to hand in papers.
Yu Tiance reviewed the paper and saw that there were no errors or omissions, so he submitted it.
The candidates walked out of Gongyuan one by one.
Some people looked relaxed, some fainted as soon as they came out, and some beat their chests and screamed to the sky.
For example, that Jiang Nan.
Several servants hurried forward and took the bookcase and umbrella from Jiang Nan's hand.
Jiang Nan glared at Yu Tiance and roared angrily: "It's all because of you. Seeing your sullen face, I can't remember those sentences!"
"You really can't poop, you're relying on the pit board! I'm too lazy to talk to you!"
Yu Tiance turned around and left the gate of Gongyuan.
Shen Jing ran forward quickly and said expectantly: "Lang Jun, how did you do in the exam this time?"
"I think I performed very well! However, it depends on the mood of the county magistrate. I hope there will be no accidents."
Shen Jing smiled and said, "Lang Jun is the best. I will definitely pass this time. The housekeeper came just now and said that Dad would invite us to dinner tomorrow night and asked us to go back too."
Inviting you to dinner again?
Yu Tiance couldn't help but be extremely vigilant.
I don’t know what trouble this father-in-law is going to cause.
"Why are you looking like this? You're not going to the execution ground!" Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Yu Tiance and took his arm: "Actually, my dad is not that bad. He is very easy to get along with."
Not that bad?
Thinking of what Shen Kang did to the original owner, only one word came to Yu Tiance's mind.
--Grass!
If it had not been a feudal dynasty and returned to primitive society, the original owner would have died more than a dozen times.
"I only care about your face, otherwise, I won't even care about this father-in-law!"
"Hehe, just for my sake!" Shen Jing held her head high and looked happy.
However, that's it.
Several figures appeared in front, holding wooden sticks, blocking the road.
